Touch Shutter function becomes possible.
2 Touch the subject you wish to focus on, and then
take a picture.

AF area with same function as [Ø] in AF Mode is
displayed at the position you touch, and a picture is taken when it is focused.
• If the histogram is displayed on top of the subject you want to touch, touch the subject
after first moving the histogram by dragging it (P12).
3 Touch [ ] to cancel the Touch Shutter function.
Note
•
If [FOCUS PRIORITY] is [ON], when the Focus Mode is set to [AFS] and the Touch Shutter
fails, if the AF area briefly turns red and disappears, this signifies that the picture cannot be
taken under the current conditions.
When set to [AFC], the picture will not be taken if the focus indication is flashing green, but if
the subject comes into focus while you are touching the screen, the picture will be taken.
• Measurement of brightness is performed on the spot touched when the [METERING MODE]
(P127) is set to [Ù]. At the edge of the screen, the metering may be affected by the brightness
around the touched location.
